Not really new purchases, but i tried to take pics of a couple to see how they would turn out and how my photography skill were. Not the best i don't think. It'll take me a while to master a camera Tried to make the plane blend in with the grass and backdrop. Give me a heads up of what you think please

On the note of collections, I spotted something in my closet today that I forgot I had. It's a reprint of aircraft spotter playing cards from the 1940s. It has side, tail and bottom silhouettes of various Allied and Axis aircraft on regular playing cards.

Nice, but I think you need a new carrier diarama for it, doesn't look right in the middle of the countryside lol. Have you made a list of what you have?

Yeah a carrier diorama would be ideal, but i only really have a few carrier based die cast. They all get displayed (hopefully) in a glass cabinet anyway.
